It's the next day where Aaradhya is trying to feed Varenya lunch but Varenya is not ready to eat. She is demanding to eat something else but not able to remember the name of the dish. Kavyansh is also not at home. He has gone to office for an important meeting, otherwise if he was here he would have managed to feed Varenya some way or the other.

"What's going on here?" Jivika asks arriving in the dining room while a maid serves her a glass of water as she has come back from the school.

"Varu wants to eat something else but Mister Prince's Mumma is not giving something else to Varu." Varenya complaints with a sad tone while her lips are jutted out in a pout.

Jivika then looks at her mother-in-law who gives her a defeated look not knowing what to do. Because without knowing the dish's name, she won't be able to prepare it.

"Varu Tai, can I make something else for you?" Jivika asks gently while caressing Varenya's head.

"Pinky promise?" Varenya asks showing her right hand's pinky finger to Jivika who quickly connects her own pinky finger with Varenya's.

"Pinky promise, Tai." Jivika replies smiling softly making Varenya giggles.

"You now go back to your room and play with your toys. I will come there with your lunch." Jivika says and like a good girl Varenya walks out of the there.

"What will you cook, Jivu? We don't even know what Varenya wants to eat." Aaradhya remarks.

"What have you made for lunch?" Jivika asks.

"Dal Chawal and Papad." Aaradhya replies.

"Then I will feed this lunch to Varu Tai but I will just change the name into something else." Jivika says walking inside the kitchen and washes her hands first, then serve small amount of Dal Chawal on a plate. She then adds a tablespoon of ghee on top of it and put two Papad by the side.

"Are you sure she will eat this?" Aaradhya asks looking hesitate.

"I am not sure but I will try my best. Now, let's go and see if my idea work or not." By saying this Jivika picks up the plate and both of them walks out of the kitchen.

When they arrive in Varenya and Meghna's room, they find Varenya playing with a toy car while Meghna is knitting a woolen sweater. Although Jivika has learnt everything about the investigation from Shivansh but she is keeping a calm facade in front of Meghna.

"What has Angel brought for Varu?" Varenya asks looking at Jivika with sparkling eyes.

"Varan Bhaat." Jivika replies sitting down on the floor where Varenya is sitting.

"But Varu wants to eat something else." Varenya says with a pout not looking pleased at all.

"Varu Tai, Varan Bhaat is called something else in my native language and you know I have put lots of ghee on top of it to make it more delicious." Jivika replies mixing the Dal Chawal together and then holds a spoonful of it in front of Varenya's lips who is still looking at the plate with a confused expression.

"You know right Angel doesn't break pinky promise." Jivika remarks to which Varenya nods her head slowly.

"Then come on open your mouth and start eating the food quickly." Jivika says and thankfully this time Varenya opens her mouth to eat.

"You know you'll be a great mother one day." Meghna remarks looking at Jivika with a soft smile to which Jivika smiles shyly.

"You are also a great mother figure for our Varu otherwise it wouldn't have possible for you take car of her and Kiyansh for last six years." Aaradhya says while Meghna shakes her head in denial.

"I have just kept them alive by providing basic necessities. They are truly being taken care of after coming here by all of you." Meghna replies with a sigh as if she wants to say a lot but holding herself back for some reason.

"By the way, if you don't mind me asking but how did you manage the expanses?" Jivika asks still busy in feeding Varenya who is now playing with the end of Jivika's dupatta.

"I used to make Bengali sweets at home and then sell them in the market. Other than that, I used to cook at some people's places where I got to earn good amount of money to manage the expanses." Meghna replies and neither Jivika nor Aaradhya feel like Meghna is lying.

"Mamoni, Varu wants to eat Dudh Puli." Varenya says looking at Meghna with hopeful eyes.

"Okay, I will prepare that for you." Meghna replies with a soft smile to which Varenya claps her hands in happiness.

"Umm, Aaradhya Ji if you can arrange the things I will need to make Dudh Puli then I will be very grateful." Meghn requests looking at Aaradhya who nods her head in response.

"You can tell me what you need and if something is not available in the kitchen then I will arrange that." Aaradhya replies.

"By the way, for whom are you knitting this sweater?" Jivika asks pointing at the half done woolen sweater.

"For Kiyansh as he gets allergic reaction to store bought woolen clothes. So, I make new sweater for him in every winter." Meghna replies which makes Jivika to think if this woman is really a culprit behind Varenya's condition. Because the way she behaves with Varenya and Kiyansh, no one can question her love for them. But it's also true that sometimes what we see and what's really happening is totally different from each other.

Meanwhile, in the AV Publishing House Kavyansh is trying to concentrate on the meeting. But all his focus is on the words said by Basheer the other day that although there were two people with the name Varenya Mukherjee was traveling in the flight, but only one Varenya Mukherjee's information was showed in the list of passengers six years ago. And that's made Kavyansh to believe that his Lotus had died in the plane crash. However, now that Ritika and Basheer are working together many things are coming out.

"Sir!" Kavyansh's slightly flinch hearing the loud tone of his PA making him realise that he has zone out in between the meeting.

"Are you okay?" Nishtha asks looking worried.

"Yes, I am alright. Actually, I am having terrible headache so I am not able to concentrate properly." Kavyansh replies looking at the employees present in the conference room.

"Sir, I think you should take rest. We can continue with the meeting tomorrow if you don't have any problem." The editing team's head suggest to which others nod their heads in agreement.

"Thank you for your understanding, guys. Then we will be discussing the further things tomorrow." Kavyansh says.

Everyone leave the room except Nishtha who looks hesitate but Kavyansh notices it so he decides to ask her exactly what happened.

"Do you want say or ask something?" Kavyansh asks Nishtha.

"Sir, can I take two weeks off?" Nishtha asks feeling scared although Kavyansh is not the type of boss who scolds his employees unnecessarily.

"May I know the reason of why do you need two weeks off?" Kavyansh asks in a calm tone.

"I have to go to Delhi as my parents are selling their house over there. They want to shift here with me permanently so that I don't have to live alone." Nishtha replies.

"And what about your daughter's treatment? Is it going well?" Kavyansh asks to which Nishtha's face fells.

"Her treatment is going on but I am not seeing any improvement. She still doesn't talk neither she is interested in learning sign language. This is another reason for my parents shifting here so that I can always be with her and maybe then we would be able to see some improvement in her condition." Nishtha replies with a tight lipped smile which is enough for Kavyansh to understand that things are not the way Nishtha has thought to be.

"You know, when Ritu told me a year ago that she wanted me to appoint you as an employee of the company I didn't hesitate because I knew that my sister could never suggest anyone's name without any reason. Although I still don't know exactly what happened for you become a single parent for your daughter, but I feel really proud seeing the way you have been handling things all alone. Most importantly how perfectly you are managing your professional life without showing any signs of discomfort." Kavyansh says while Nishtha remembers the first time she joined the company.

"Everyone here is so good and supportive that they never made me feel like I am a newcomer. Also, you are a great boss who understands the need of your employees and know where to draw your boundaries. I am just lucky to have a friend like Ritika who helped me in a situation where no one was ready to help me." Nishtha replies with sincerity in her tone.

"You can take the leave. Also, your and your family's return ticket will be arranged from the company and before you start declining it, let me tell you this is your Boss's order which you need to follow." Kavyansh says making Nishtha to nod her head in response.

"Thank you so much, Sir." Nishtha says getting up from the chair.

"My pleasure, Miss Chandwani. By the way, send a herbal tea to my cabin." Kavyansh remarks.

Soon enough Kavyansh arrives in his cabin but gets surprised seeing Ritika sitting on the couch. Because he remembers that Ritika is supposed to be in the court for the hearing of her client.

"The hearing got cancelled so I thought to come here." Ritika says looking at her older brother who sits on the single couch facing her.

"And I am sure that there must be something important for you to come here." Kavyansh says to which Ritika nods her head.

"Bhaiya, I need to go to Varanasi for further investigation. So, I need all the details about the place where Varenya Bhabhi's house used to be, her parents name and their workplace etc. Although I have gathered a lot of information but I want you to give me the details you know about her." Ritika says while Kavyansh looks deep in thought.

"What happened, Bhaiya?" Ritika asks making Kavyansh to look at her with a frown.

"Are we doing correct by suspecting Meghna Aunty?" Kavyansh asks.

"I really don't know because whatever I have heard about her she sounds like a genuine person. But appearance can be deceiving as well so till I have all the queries done I don't want to think about anything else. Not only that, I have a feeling that this mystery of Varenya Bhabhi's disappearance six years ago isn't going to be so easy to solve. I mean, in my career I have solved a lot of criminal cases but this case may turn out to be the most challenging one for me till date." Ritika replies making Kavyansh worried.

"Princess be careful with everything you are going to do. I don't want any harm come to you." Kavyansh says to which Ritika gives him an assuring smile.

"Don't worry, Bhaiya. I am not only a criminal advocate but also the right-hand person of the Head of the Indian Underworld. So, I know exactly what I am getting myself into. Moreover, while people have alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, I have an addiction of solving mysterious mysteries which are nearly unsolvable for others. I just love it when people think that no one can find out the truth but then I solve the mystery and disclose everything changing the game completely. So, you should not worry about me because as soon as I find the people who are responsible for Varenya Bhabhi's condition, they will not meet Adv. Ritika Singh Rathore or Princess Ritika Singh Rathore. They will have to face the Deviless of the Indian Underworld." Ritika remarks leaning against the couch looking at her newly painted nails in Crimson Red colour.

Varenya has been sitting on the swing in the garden for half an hour because Jivika has told her that Kavyansh will be back soon from work. Varenya wants to be the first person to greet him when he comes back. But now waiting for so long, she is getting sad thinking that her Mister Prince must have forgotten about her. Suddenly, she hears the sound of a car which makes her face lit up in happiness. So, she quickly gets off the swing and runs away from the garden to meet her Mister Prince.

Soon enough, the car stops in front of the palace and Kavyansh comes out of the car. But even before he can take a step Varenya throws herself at him making him stumble a little yet he balances himself perfectly.

"Varu missed Mister Prince lots." Varenya says wrapping her hands around Kavyansh's neck.

"Really? But I thought Varu was happy to be home with Kiwi and others." Kavyansh remarks playfully wrapping his hand around Varenya's waist.

"Angel went to school, Kiwi played with the doggies and Bunny, Mamoni talked with Mister Prince's Mumma." Varenya complains looking at Kavyansh with a pout who chuckles.

"Oh I see. It means Varu had no one to play with and that's why she missed Mister Prince." Kavyansh says in a teasing tone but it seems Varenya isn't in the mood of joking because she starts crying and sits on the ground surprising Kavyansh with the sudden change of her mood.

"Lotus, why are you sitting on the ground? Come on get up quickly, your clothes are getting dirty." Kavyansh says trying to get Varenya stand but she doesn't even let him touch her.

"No! Mister Prince makes fun of Varu. So, Varu is sad and angry. Varu will complain about Mister Prince to Scary Man and Adi Uncle. Varu will tell Angel and Princess Mulan too." Varenya remarks with a big sniffle while Kavyansh too sits on the ground across from her.

"I am sorry, Baby. I will never laugh at you again. Please forgive your Mister Prince." Kavyansh says holding his ears but Varenya only shakes her head in response.

"Varu won't forgive Mister Prince till Mister Prince feeds Varu something else. Varu's tum-tum is very hungry." Varenya replies while Kavyansh gets confused.

"But what is something else, Baby?" Kavyansh asks while Varenya to hit her forehead in frustration.

"Varu thought Mister Prince was smart. But Mister Prince is a dum-dum in head." Varenya remarks rolling her eyes.

"Dum-dum means dumb?" Kavyansh asks to confirm.

"Yes." Varenya replies nodding her head while Kavyansh doesn't know if he should smile at how cute his Lotus is looking or he should feel bad that his Lotus called him dumb.

"Okay, I agree that I am a dum-dum. But I seriously don't know what else you want to eat. Can you elaborate a little?" Kavyansh asks gently.

"Umm, something else is.....something else." Varenya answers fumbling with her fingers as she isn't able to remember exactly what she is trying to say.

As if something clicks into Kavyansh's mind and his eyes slightly widen remembering Varenya has this tendency to eat spicy food during her time of the month aka period. He curses under his breath feeling guilty for forgetting about this matter. Not only that, Dr. Bhavya has already mentioned that Varenya's mind may work like a child but by body she is an adult. So, to get menstruation is normal for her.

"Lotus, are you feeling pain in your tum-tum?" Kavyansh asks after sometime.

"Yes, a lot. But Varu hasn't told anyone about it." Varenya replies not looking at Kavyansh.

"But why haven't you said anything to your Mamoni?" Kavyansh asks while Varenya looks at him sadly.

"Mamoni starts crying seeing Varu in pain. So, Varu hides her pain from Mamoni." Varenya replies and again doubt arise in Kavyansh's mind about Meghna's intentions.

"It's alright, Lotus. I am sure this time your Mamoni won't cry because she isn't alone to take care of you. All of us are here to make you feel better when you feel pain in your tum-tum. By the way, I think I know what you would like to eat." Kavyansh says sparking Varenya's interest.

"What Mister Prince?" Varenya asks sounding eager.

"Spicy Jhal Muri." Kavyansh replies making Varenya to lick her lips as if she is already tasting the spicy snack.

"Yes, that's what Varu wants to eat." Varenya says clapping her hands while Kavyansh smiles remembering how he used to make Jhal Muri in the past whenever his Lotus's period date were near as well as during her period days as well.
